Research consultancy
Advice on research design, execution and strategy for teams that deliver their own studies.
Research consultancy Cameroon is advice, not delivery: your team runs the study and Sintieh Research Academy makes sure it is designed, approved, analysed and reported to a standard that funders and journals accept. Consultancy is priced by the day or by the deliverable, and most engagements start with a single scoping call.
Who research consultancy is for
- Hospital departments planning an audit or a cohort study.
- NGO monitoring and evaluation teams designing an evaluation.
- Academic teams that need a methods reviewer before submission.
- Innovators preparing an evidence plan for a product or programme.
What research consultancy includes
- Study design review and sample size calculation.
- Protocol and ethics application drafting or review.
- Grant proposal structure, budget and donor alignment.
- Analysis plans and statistical review.
- Manuscript strategy: journal choice, reporting guideline, response to reviewers.
Duration and format
From a single half-day review to a retained adviser over a full project. Sessions are online or in Buea. Written advice is returned within five working days. When you would rather hand the whole study to us, see research project execution.
How to request this service

Our standards
Every piece of work follows a written protocol and, where people are involved, ethical approval before data collection. We report to the partner as well as to a journal, and we follow ICMJE authorship rules. As a result, partners can rely on what Sintieh Research Academy delivers, and readers can check every claim against its source. In addition, all of our research consultancy work is delivered by staff and fellows who have themselves published.
